New job for Whatmore!


Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore, who has recently renewed his contract with Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for two years, will act as a television commentator during Bangladesh's tour of England next month.

The Australian has signed a deal with BBC as a television commentator for the Tigers' two Tests against England, according to a report published by the Asian Age yesterday.

The report says that Whatmore has agreed to be a 'Test Match Special Summariser' during the first Test at Lord's and the second at Chester-le-Street.

It was learnt here that the BCB was not likely to object to Whatmore's desire to commentate.
